Don't expect any other uploads like this one, this is just evidence of how things have changed (for worse), if it gets taken down I won't upload it again, maybe I'll upload one of the last 2018 streams of Xuanzi instea…

Ah~ how good did we have it back then:
- No camera tracking.
- Rarely any camera focus issues.
- No noise reducing audio filters.
- No "mono audio", every time the stereo is switched off the stereo or "moving audio" filter, cycling from right to left channel and back, is used it feels like the audio quality goes from top tier to trash tier, the VR audio quality atmosphere is destroyed.
- Less or no video filters (now there are: the lipstick, the eyeliner, smooth skin, blurs, that mask some use to make it look darker, I know the "face thinner" has always been there for everyone but Bella's face barely changes).
- Static overlays or no overlays.
- Overall quieter streams.
- Barely no echo sound gimmick.
- More ASMR variety (I miss the "basics" like finger tapping or just slow breathing).
- Less interruptions.
- Less posing.
- No blinking/moving lights in the background.
- Only the best mic (she had a 3Dio a clone at the time), however way better setup than the rodes or the KU100 she uses now.
- No monster/alien mouth sounds with the rodes.
- In the case of Bella she seemed happier back then (I'd say it's the case for all the streamers of that period that still stream now).
I know it wasn't perfect, back then I complained a lot about the mouse clicks, but in retrospect mouse clicks are nothing to compared to how bad the current content is. After having watched so much current ASMR, if I switch-watch unedited streams from 2018, with all the clicks, the improvement is so big that I don't mind.
They, the Chinese ASMR streamers, managed to do "lightning in the bottle" but now the only one that seems to be able to replicate that is Xuanzi.
